Chapter 111 - Caspar and Finland in Paris

They arrived in Paris in the afternoon and immediately headed to the city center. Caspar had many assets in Paris and, like in Singapore, he chose to stay in the penthouse of one of his hotels for practicality. Finland could barely hide her admiration when they entered the penthouse for the first time.

This place was far more beautiful than Caspar's penthouse at the Continental Hotel in Singapore. The design was classic, with various ornaments and antique furnishings that made it feel like you are in an European king's palace...

"This is great... !!" Finland exclaimed as she covered her mouth, trying to hold back her endless sighs of admiration.

"You can stay here while in Paris," Caspar said. "I'll go back to Germany and work. You have fun with Jean, I'll pick you up on the 30th."

"We will not only be in Paris for 2 weeks. Jean will take me to the Netherlands, Belgium and surrounding areas as well. So, I really don't need a place to stay here." said Finland.

"It's okay, use it for as long as you need to." Caspar stretched his arms and hugged Finland, "I know this is very important for you. Hopefully this will give you a chance to say goodbye properly."

Finland nodded sadly.

"Thank you, for understanding me."

Finland was sad because she had to part with Jean, but at least she would have memories of their 4.5 years of friendship and their two-week trip. While Jean wouldn't have anything...

"Today we will rest and tomorrow I will take you for a walk in the city." Caspar, sensing his wife's sadness, immediately turned his attention to their suitcases. "Let's get your things out of your suitcase and arrange them here to make you feel at home."

Because Finland would be traveling with Jean for two weeks, she would only carry one small suitcase for practicality. Many of her belongings, bought by Caspar during their trip to Germany, Spain, and Portugal, will be stored in the penthouse until she returned home.

Caspar helped her with her stuff and then took her to rest on the couch. He handed her a glass of port they brought from Lisbon.

At 7 pm, a private chef and several servers came upstairs to prepare their dinner. The dining room window, which rose from floor to ceiling, featured a view overlooking the beautiful Eiffel Tower when the drapes were opened to the side.

The lights of the Eiffel Tower were beautifully lit, creating a romantic and magical atmosphere in their dining room. Finland could not help but sigh in admiration. Caspar was very satisfied to see that, again, he had managed to impress his woman.

"You seem to like it very much here. Should we just move to Paris?" Caspar asked teasingly. He could see that Finland's face seemed very eager to hear this question, "We can live here or move around the world. I have lived in many countries and they all have their own charms."

Finland nodded, "We have a lifetime for that..."

"What do you mean by a lifetime...?" Caspar looked at Finland with a probing look, "Have you decided to drink the immortality potion?"

Finland returned his gaze with a small smile, "Yes. But after I leave Jean and make sure he's fine."

Caspar looked very surprised and happy. He had hoped that Finland would want to live forever with him, but he did not think that she would decide so soon. He thought he would have to wait for at least a year.

It was Finland who was going to have her birthday, but it was Caspar who felt like the one receiving a birthday gift.

"I'm so glad to hear that!" Caspar immediately got up from his chair and hugged her. "This is good news."

"In two weeks, Jean will forget about me. I have no more reason to postpone it. Maybe the sooner the better..."

"I agree. Oh... I can't wait for the end of the month..." Caspar kept kissing Finland because he felt so happy.

A few minutes later he pulled himself together and returned to his chair. They continued eating in a much happier mood.

After dinner, both of them enjoyed the scenery for half an hour. They had a light chat accompanied by a glass of champagne, then went to sleep.

That night Caspar hugged Finland tighter than usual. He was very happy because Finland was now one hundred percent his, since she decided to live as immortal with him for a lifetime.

He couldn't wait to live his forever with Finland, every day, always together until who knows when...

When Finland woke up the next day, the clock showed 10 o'clock.

"Good morning, Princess." Caspar sat on the sofa by the bed, staring at Finland.

Finland looked at her watch and was shocked, "Oh my God... 10 o'clock! Why didn't you wake me up?"

Caspar chuckled. "Today is your birthday and we don't have a specific schedule. Your job today is to rest and enjoy being pampered."

He held Finland who was about to get out of bed.

"Psshhh... stay there, Honey. I'll bring you breakfast."

Caspar disappeared and returned 5 minutes later with a tray containing breakfast. His face looked happy. "Breakfast in bed for the birthday girl - my beautiful wife!"

All her life Finland never dreamed that she would experience breakfast in bed. So far she had only seen it in romantic movies.

She was touched because Caspar really spoiled her.

"This... this is so romantic..." she whispered, blushing.

"I'm glad you like it."

Caspar spoiled Finland and didn't let her do anything for the whole day; he handled every single thing.

After breakfast, they got ready to leave the house. Caspar invited Finland to go out and walk around the hotel to enjoy the typical Parisian atmosphere.
